Amy Goodman arrested at RNC- 7th and Jackson street
Amy Goodman, the host of Democracy Now, one of the most prominent progressive media programs in the country, has been arrested by police at the RNC while covering street protests. This was announced via a live call-in show on the Portland indymedia radio webcast.
This past weekend, several houses were raided with attorneys, legal observers, reporters from iWitness news, an independent reporting organization out of New York, and Democracy Now journalists.
As Monday's events have unfolded, it has been clear that dozens of little points of conflict have arisen around the city. There were also large Union and antiwar marches proceeding along routes near downtown. At the location that Goodman was arrested, supposedly 30-40 demonstrations were being detained.
The Twin Cities IMC should have further updates shortly.
